Title: Restoration please
Post by: Ryan1 on Thursday 04 January 24 11:48 GMT (UK)
Any help to clean up photo would be fantastic.
Image taken in Perth, Western Australia about 1920ish.
Sadly I don't know any of the names and if image a little clearer hopefully one day someone in family will be able to put a name to the faces.  Thanks in advance for any help.
Daniel.

The lady on the left looks to me as if she only has a useable finger and thumb on her left hand, the remaining three fingers look as if they have either never grown properly, have been amputated at some point or just curl under most of the time rendering them fairly useless. My own fingers do this on my right hand and I have just stood in front of a mirror and my hand then looks similar to the hand in the photo.

Whatever the cause it might help with identification if someone knows of someone in the family with a problem with their left hand.

Going back to the original photo, I think her coat has a patch pocket, and she has her thumb and index finger outside and the other fingers inside.

You don't think they are just "in a pocket"!

You’re probably right, it was just that it looked so much like my fingers on my hand.

Nicely done. If you can make the left eye much clearer, it will be awesome. Overall nice work.
